A mess of an introduction

This sub is born of a mild version of identity incongruence. As I get older, I feel more disconnected from the person I feel like I should be becoming. At the core, I feel young, energetic, immature, and ready to take on the world and see what I can do and what’s out there. However, I feel pressure from many sources, including myself, to be someone different. There’s pressure to act my age and embrace the slow march to decrepitude and death.

I don’t like it and do not accept it.

That’s the challenge. Find a way to stay true to myself, but also to age appropriately and happily. I expect to change and grow, and I hope I can find the path that I can be proud of.

It’s a rebuilding project and I have 28 months to complete the task.
